Hi Liam,
letā€™s start from your original code.
The first problem is here:

You need code in between those lines. It should use a while or for loop. Something along the lines of:

Loop through enemies:
    compare health of enemy with mostHealth
    update mostHealth and bestTarget

If you need more help with that go back to earlier sarven desert while loop levels.
Next this section:

You havenā€™t defined archer yet. Only archers. Why not use the same code as you used above:

Youā€™re trying to achieve the same aim. You could replace ā€œsoldierā€ and ā€œsoldiersā€ with ā€œarcherā€ and ā€œarchersā€.
You should also go back to previous mountain levels for clarification of for loops. A lot of people find them hard. If you want I can give and in depth explanation of for and while loops, but if you could just go back to previous levels that would be easier.
Think about what Iā€™ve said above, and experiment/go back to previous levels, maybe research loops on the internet (there are loads of resources). And come back in 24 hours and tell me if youā€™ve made any progress.
I hope this helps,
Danny
